The Daily Mail have now reported that the stopper is set to put pen to paper on a new deal with the Toon, before replacing Barcelona bound Jasper Cillessen between the sticks at Ajax.

The report claims that Krul, who has just 12 months remaining on his St. James’ Park deal, will sign a one-year extension.

The 28-year-old is currently in training as he continues to recover from tearing his anterior cruciate ligament, which has kept him on the sidelines since October 2015.

Newcastle have an abundance of goalkeepers on the books at the moment, after signing Belgian stopper Matz Sels. Along with Krul and Sels, the Magpies have Rob Elliot, Freddie Woodman and Karl Darlow vying for the number one spot.
